PEOPLE v. LIN (2018)

Judgment of conviction (Felicia A. Mennin, J.), rendered March 15, 2016, affirmed.

The court properly denied defendant's suppression motion. There is no basis for disturbing the court's credibility determinations, which are supported by the record (see People v. Prochilo, 41 NY2d 759, 761 [1977]; People v. Martin, 112 AD3d 453, 454 [2013] ). The arresting officer's observations of the defendant at the corner of Canal Street and Broadway, wherein he displayed handbags, engaged pedestrians in conversation, then ran upon seeing the officer while “clutching” two handbags bearing counterfeit designer labels, established probable cause for defendant's arrest (see People v. Jie Chen, 129 AD3d 548 [2015]; People v. Dunbar, 72 AD3d 566 [2010], lv denied 15 NY3d 804 [2010]; People v. Lewis, 50 AD3d 595 [2008], lv denied 11 NY3d 790 [2008] ).

The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v. Danielson, 9 NY3d 342 [2007] ). There is no basis for disturbing the court's determination concerning credibility, including its assessment of testimony that defendant was offering for sale counterfeit Michael Kors and Prada handbags (see People v. Ouedraogo, 39 Misc 3d 145[A], 2013 NY Slip Op 50822[U][App Term, 1st Dept 2013], lv denied 22 NY3d 958 [2013] ).
